Stormbreaker

Horowitz, Anthony. Stormbreaker. NY: Penguin Group Inc., 2004. 234 pages. (Action / Adventure Series)

The main characters of the book Stormbreaker are a fourteen-year-old boy named Alec Rider and his uncle Ian Rider. It took place on a long stretch of beach lines and steep cliffs next to the ocean. There is a secret headquarters called M16-agency and it also takes place in the company called Sayle Enterprises. The problem that Alec faces is trying to find out why these computers called Storm Breakers have been infected by a virus on purpose by Sayle Enterprises who hired someone to kill his uncle Ian. The other problem Alec faces is trying to stop the computers before they get shipped out to every school and infect all the computers in the world. Alec went about solving his problem by going undercover as a boy called Felix Lester and trying to solve why the computers were infected by the virus and finding evidence to send back to the M16 headquarters.

The character that is most like me is Alec because he and I are very brave and adventurous. Alec also likes to pretend he is someone else like I do. Alec also likes to spy on people like I do on my parents to find out information. Lastly, Alec likes to solve mysteries and I like to play games like Clue to solve mysteries.
